BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) Steven Finn is joining England’s Champions Trophy squad in place of injured Chris Woakes.
Allrounder Woakes was ruled out of the remainder of the June 1-18 tournament after suffering a side strain early in England’s opening Group A victory against Bangladesh at The Oval on Thursday.
The International Cricket Council said Sunday that it had approved Middlesex seamer Finn joining the England squad.
The 28-year-old Finn has made 69 one-day international appearances for England and taken 102 wickets at an average of just under 30.
England’s next game is against New Zealand on Tuesday in Cardiff, Wales.
